New restaurant coming to downtown Greenville

Papi's Tacos opening soon

A discreet little sign in a window announces a new restaurant opening soon in Greenville -- and for those who complain about the high price of dining downtown, this will offer a low-cost alternative.

Papi's Tacos is the newest addition to the downtown restaurant line-up, but is part of the well-established Table 301 Restaurant Group that includes The Lazy Goat, Soby's, Devereaux's, Passerelle and Nose Dive.

The Mexican eatery will be located under The Lazy Goat, next door to O-CHA tea bar along Greenville's River Walk.

In an interview with Restaurant Hospitality, Table 301's executive chef of culinary operations Michael Kramer says that Jorge Borrales will head the kitchen at the taco spot and developed the menu. He said Borrales has been working with Carl Sobocinski for more than 15 years at Soby's, and sometimes at Lazy Goat.

The visitgreenvillesc.com site says: "Papi’s Tacos could be described as a 'stationary taco truck.' The menu is short and simple. Tacos, tortas, salsas and dips -- all made using the same authentic flavor combinations that 'Papi' and his family grew up learning to use. Fresh ingredients, handled with care and love make all the difference.

"Tacos, the kind that Papi and his family enjoy at home. Tortas, so simple, yet so much flavor in an easy carry out sandwich. A selection of house made salsas, bean dip and guacamole to round out a quick meal or snack."

The price point will be $6 or less. Papi's will be open Monday-Saturday starting at 11 a.m., and Sunday starting at noon.
